Chrome on Android uses Google Play Services for AR (formerly ARCore) to power WebXR, so this works just as well as any augmented reality Android application.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Chrome 81 also introduces a Web NFC framework that will enable web apps to interact with NFC tags. As Google\u2019s Chromium blog notes: \u201cThis opens new use cases to the web, including providing information about museum exhibits, inventory management, providing information in a conference badge, and many others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no firm date surrounding the release of Chrome 81 \u2014 which will also include a number of new security features \u2014 but we\u2019ve seen rumblings which suggest Google will release a polished version sometime next month, most likely in the mid-March timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"description img-caption\"><span class=\"source\">Image Source: Shutterstock<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-image-container with-avatar\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/All-the-unexpected-products-Apple-is-set-to-release-in.jpg\" height=\"52px\" width=\"47px\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\tA life long Mac user and Apple enthusiast, Yoni Heisler has been writing about Apple and the tech industry at large for over 6 years.
